If you like oil stocks for dividends, check out ENI, it pays out a fluctuating dividend which is pretty much always higher than CVX or XOM.
True Story: Was hammered drunk in the airport in Lagos about to fly back to the US and went to take a piss. Turned back to see a bunch of angry Nigerians, looked past them and saw the urinals and realized I was pissing in their foot washing station. Could have been a bad situation but they didn't do anything. It didn't look like that mini bidet, it looked like a urinal that went to the floor, that's why I peed in it.

Two Seeking Alpha articles popped up yesterday, summary below.

HydroGraph Clean Power: A Generational Bet On Graphene's Disruption, Worth Starting Small

Jun 25, 2026 06:49 AM | HydroGraph Clean Power Inc.(HGRAF) | By: Arnav Dash Choudhury

Summary
Graphene is a remarkable material, and HydroGraph makes some of the purest, most consistent graphene on the planet, making it a good bet on the material.
The patented detonation synthesis process is graphite-free, bottom-up, and carries a low-energy demand, making HGRAF one of the very few public ways to bet on premium graphene.
The current $1.6 billion valuation reflects future promise rather than current financials, a premium well warranted when the scientific edge and the vast optionality of graphene are considered.
A potential NASDAQ uplisting remains the single biggest near-term catalyst, and the near-total retail ownership of the stock is its biggest risk. A gradual accumulation based on milestones is recommended.


HydroGraph Clean Power: A High-Risk, High-Reward Bet On The Future Of Graphene

Jun 24, 2026 10:51 PM | HydroGraph Clean Power Inc.(HGRAF) | By: DCF Value Investor

Summary
HydroGraph Clean Power leverages proprietary detonation technology for cost-effective, high-purity graphene production and has secured key regulatory approvals.
HG is scaling production in Texas, expanding its partner network, and pursuing commercialization across automotive, biosensor, and technical fiber markets.
Despite a strong $42.8M cash position, HG remains pre-revenue with a $6.97M net loss, relying on equity financing and facing significant execution and commercialization risks.
I rate HG a speculative Buy for high-risk, long-term investors seeking exposure to advanced materials, contingent on successful scale-up and commercial contract wins.

Anybody just invest off their Alpha Picks? Just signed up and am exploring the site. Any advice from members with premium?

This dropped to page 3. Did everybody sell? I'm still up 46% on this one. Is it time to run?

They have a bunch of good calculators online. My personal plan with 3 kids is to 529 enough for 1 private college and 2 in state public school (Texas). If more than one goes private we will figure it out then but that’s around my retirement age so I may work an extra year if needed. Anything left over can go to grad school or Roth.
Money Board Summary
1. Open Vanguard account then Roth IRA account
2. Transfer money from checking account
3. Use the transferred funds to buy VOO
4. Don't touch it

Monarch is great but like $100/yr
lol I’ve been following all your tips! I thought you were a baller. Well you’re making me rich off your due diligence.
My average is $7.92. Figured I would hold it for a bit.
shite I thought y’all were heavy on this stock. I’m sitting on 3000 shares. Maybe I should sell some.

Rent a party bus from Houston, drink the whole way there, give all our advice to the CEO, profit.
So this isn't a stock you see going to 100 in the next year.

First day LWLG, HGRAF, and MRLN all up nicely.
Glad I lowered my average yesterday!
